Abstract

This research is motivated by the awareness of the importance of community preparedness against disasters, especially for island communities living in disaster-prone areas. Maringkik Island, East Lombok Regency was chosen as the research location because it is included in the southern part of Lombok Island, which has the potential for megathrust (an earthquakes above 8 SR). The objectives of this study were to determine: (1) the level of community education and its effect on community readiness in dealing with current disasters, (2) the level of understanding of disaster preparedness in the community in patron-client relationships, and (3) the level of disaster preparedness in the local social system of community. The method used in this research was mixed methods, a combination of quantitative and qualitative research. The data were collected using in-depth interviews and surveys using a questionnaire. The results show that community preparedness in facing disasters wss influenced by several factors, namely the level of education and knowledge as well as existing socio-cultural values. In addition, the existing patron-client pattern contributed to the community's low understanding of disaster preparedness. Community behavior and preparedness in the event of a disaster were still traditional, instinctive and natural, not based on modern science. Therefore, this study recommended the importance of disaster-specific subjects in schools and routine disaster mitigation-related training from related institutions.
